RE: building subversion from tar ball

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your response. While I feel this
is a legitimate and important issue and I hope the
thread will be picked up by someone else (so that
in the future there will be one fewer stone to
turn over), I found a good enough work-around.

I downloaded the latest tar ball for apache httpd
(v 2.2.14) and installed it. I wanted to avoid
doing this because the working httpd (v 2.0.59)
had a huge conf file and making sure every line
of which would work for the new apache was way
too much work for me at the moment. As I started
the new apache, the subversion's ./configure went
without a single complaint and on to "make install".

Finally, I tested the subversion with the same
import:

 $ svn import -m "initial import" ~/Projects/pivot/ http://vixen.egcrc.org:8099/svn/tsakai

and got:

 svn: OPTIONS of 'http://vixen.egcrc.org:8099/svn/tsakai': could not connect to server (http://vixen.egcrc.org:8099)

That was an improvement?! I hadn't seen that before.
I contemplated on it a bit and decided to switch the
apache back to the old one. As I did so, I also
checked the status of collabnet_subversion and it
reported failure. I turned it on and came back to the
shell where I ran svn import before and hit up-arrow.
Here's the rest of what happened:

With that, I went home to catch some sleep. I have
more checking to do and report to write, but all in
all I am in a pretty good place. The only thing I
wish I knew at this point is that if it is working
solely because of my switching back to the old appache
or solely by getting collabnet_subversion turned on
or becaue of both. I should have thought of it as
I was doing and tested it. But that's water under
the bridge, I am afraid. What I do know is that the
apr that came with the apache is in place and subversion
is happy with that (and so am I).

I will report more if there is anything else worth
contributing. Many thanks for your assistance for
last 3 days and nights.

I would think so, but I have not done it this way myself before.

Well, yes... Now, what I showed you was how MacPorts installs
Subversion, but in that case, apr and apr-util have already been
installed into the system separately. I don't know how to build
Subversion and apr and apr-util and all the other dependencies all
directly out of the single Subversion distribution directory so I
should let someone else respond.
